This lot lies about half a mile east of highway 69 along a well-maintained gravel road. The front half of this property boasts abundant trees, open meadows AND wonderful views of the mighty Sangre de Cristo mountains, while the rear portion hosts a gently sloping forest with towering ponderosa pines and exposed rocks. There are numerous build sites that have these beautiful features to give you the best locations to build your dream home, or to simply enjoy a private campsite under the stars. With no HOA or covenants, you have a wide variety of building options available! Better still, your neighbors have built beautiful homes that will attract those who value quality AND freedom. If your goal is peaceful mountain living, look no further! You are only 20 minutes from the historic town of Westcliffe, and additional shopping, dining, a full range of quality health care and other city amenities are 40 miles away in the towns of Salida and Canon City (with Pueblo and Colorado Springs just beyond). Visit the nearby Arkansas River for fishing, rafting and related activities. For skiers, the Monarch ski area is less than 90 minutes away with virtually no traffic!
